Windsor Tomcats

To say this week’s hockey had a storybook ending might be stretching it a bit, but hey, I am trying to stay with this silly fairytale theme for this article…

Captains were chosen my those brave men who have been in the Sherwood Forest the longest…The Turk, Bulldog and Hurricane.  Their teams of merry men included:

George’s Grumpy Gang (wearing Green) – Sunny, Jingles, Kamikaze, Doc, LaBamba and Hollywood (G) (Note: Grumpy was given as George refused to pick a team, so Hollywood made the selections on his behalf)

Bulldog’s Bashful Bunch (wearing Black) – Falcon (G), Tunes, Sparky, Cribz, Sheepdog and Spanky (who never showed)

Hurricane’s Happy Heros (wearing White) – Soupy, Rake, Mattador (G), Chevy, Rocky, Snowpants

Games started a little late but breaks between periods and games were kept to one minute.  The pace was quick as the Tomcats get closer to tournament time.  All goalies played very well, leading to very low scoring games.  White and Black were tied coming into the final game.  In the end, Hurricane’s Happy Heros proved to be too much, taking the winner 2-0.

Final results:
Hurricane’s – 3-0-1
Bulldog’s – 2-1-1
George’s – 0-4-0

When some Tomcats discussed the merits of playing forward or defense, a quote was heard from one very wise Tomcat (probably the wisest of them all, just ask him – The Rake)…”Forwards make commercials, Defensemen make History!”

The 3 Star selection, as selected by King LaBamba The Great, The Fifth, Esquire:

Third Star – Falcon
Second Star – Matador
First Star – Snowpants
